SUMMARY:Sugar Hill: Viva La Vida Opening Reception - Andrea Arroyo (Opening Reception)
DESCRIPTION:The Sugar Hill Museum Presents “Viva la Vida” A Site-Specific Installation by Award-Winning Artist Andrea Arroyo\, Inspired by Day of the Dead.  \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, October 25\, 3–5 p.m. Featuring live painting by Andrea Arroyo with music by jazz legend Ms. Marjorie Eliot (3:30pm) \nOn View October 24 – November 2\, 2025 \nWHAT: Viva la Vida\, a participatory installation celebrating life\, memory\, and heritage \nWHERE: Sugar Hill Children’s Museum of Art & Storytelling\, 898 St. Nicholas Ave @ 155th St\, New York\, NY 10032 \nWHEN: October 24 – November 2\, 2025 \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, October 25\, 3–5 p.m. Featuring live painting by Andrea Arroyo with music by jazz legend Ms. Marjorie Eliot (3:30pm) \nHours: Friday 10am-5pm; Saturday & Sunday 10am-3pm. \nFamily Workshop: Saturday\, Nov. 1\, 11am–1pm. \nThe Sugar Hill Museum of Art & Storytelling is pleased to present Viva la Vida\, a site-specific installation by award-winning artist Andrea Arroyo\, on view from October 24 through November 2\, 2025. \nThe opening reception will feature a special artistic collaboration: live painting by Andrea Arroyo in dialogue with the music of jazz legend Ms. Marjorie Eliot. \nInspired by her Mexican heritage\, Arroyo’s Viva la Vida celebrates the timeless dance between life and memory. Rooted in the tradition of Día de Muertos\, the installation reflects the invisible threads that unite the living with those who have passed\, honoring ancestry\, heritage\, and the intimate stories of loved ones. \nOnce a year\, home and community ofrendas open a symbolic doorway\, welcoming spirits to return while the living remember\, reflect\, and rejoice. These offerings become bridges between worlds\, affirming the continuity of life. \nTransforming remembrance into a shared act of resilience and celebration\, Viva la Vida blends tradition with contemporary expression. More than a work of art\, the installation invites visitors to actively participate—becoming both altar and gathering place\, where memory deepens into connection\, and loss is transfigured into joy\, gratitude\, and collective belonging. \nAttendees are encouraged to bring small photographs (copies\, not originals) and cards to place on the altar\, as well as to inscribe messages on the provided cards and ribbons. These offerings will become part of a collective tapestry of remembrance\, honoring and celebrating loved ones. (No food or candles\, please.) \nAbout the Artist: Andrea Arroyo is an award-winning artist whose work is exhibited internationally and is in the collections of the National Museum of American History\, the Smithsonian Institution\, the Library of Congress\, the New York Public Library\, and the Richmond Museum. \nShe has received numerous awards\, including The New York Women’s Foundation Award\, Fellowships from the New York Foundation for the Arts\, The United Nations Lurie Award\, Artist Employment Creative Rebuild New York Fellowship\, Global Citizen Award Artist\, Clinton Global Initiative\, Cuba International Biennial\, Award\, Hispanic Federation/NoMAA/Google Award\, and multiple awards from the Northern Manhattan Arts Alliance\, the Puffin Foundation\, the Harlem Arts Alliance\, the Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone\, and the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council.

SUMMARY:Morris-Jumel - Life is a Dream: A Day of the Dead Ofrenda
DESCRIPTION:Join in this community activation event to create an ofrenda with artist Andrea Arroyo on Saturday\, October 26th\, 3:00 – 4:30 PM. The ofrenda will be on view in the Morris-Jumel Mansion from October 26th – November 17th\, 2024. \nLife is a Dream is an art installation inspired by the Mexican Day of the Dead tradition. It is based on the belief in the connection between the living and the deceased and the everlasting link between this world and the next. On the Day of the Dead\, ofrendas – offerings placed at an altar – welcome the spirits of our loved ones for one night. \nLife is a Dream combines traditional and modern elements and invites the community to participate in creating a meaningful shared experience. Attendees are encouraged to bring small photographs (copies\, not originals) and cards to place on the altar to remember their loved ones (no food or candles\, please). We will provide paper and markers so attendees can write short messages to loved ones and ancestors. Day of the Dead is a revered celebration unrelated to Halloween that does not include morbid\, scary\, or performative elements. \nLife is a Dream is made possible in part with support from Mano a Mano: Mexican Culture Without Borders and the Puffin Foundation and is presented in conjunction with Andrea Arroyo’s exhibition Faces & Façades\, on view through March 23\, 2025. \nImage: Detail of an ofrenda (“Viva la Vida”) commissioned by the School of Visual Arts and Flatiron in 2023.
